Even though I followed multiple forum threads on this topic, I am still not able to make this work with my API connection. In the attached workflow, I have given the API URL which should filter to either only 1 row of data or 7 rows of data but somehow the output contains huge number of rows (many of them look like metadata and not required).
Can someone please help in setting this correctly so that finally I can either have the JSON to Table or JSON to Excel file?
I am not aware of the complexities of API and responses and hence it’s more troubling to me.
Can you please clarify what your desired output is? I see a lot of animal related attributes in the JSON so I assume that is what you want to extract and have in a table?
I went through your earlier replies in some other forums posts as well. They were pretty detailed.
In this one, yes I need all the available attributes in a table. This is how it looks in table. I can download the CSV from there but I need the data through API.
I can see how you have configured the two JSON Path nodes to get the relevant information and then used the Ungroup and JSON to Table nodes to get the final data. I would have never got around that in such a short time.
I had already connected to CSV and got the data but the problem was to get it through API and hence this hassle as I have very basics understanding of APIs which is not sufficient here.
Sorry, I did not get what you meant by
Did I miss anything? Please suggest so that I am aware for the next time.
As @ArjenEX suggest, I’ve posted before about the same topic that could be continued with new replies for it. BUT, as a new approach here with json, you can work with the same source with 2 kinds of branch: CSV or JSON.
API can give you more details and ways to create great workflows and automate it.
SO, keep going and if you need anything else, just call us, ok?
The double JSON Path is not required. If you create a collection list based on $['features'][*]['attributes'] ,ungroup it and then JSON to Table like you already have then you also get the desired output.
Small trick in case you are not aware: you can make your life easy by using the JSON cell preview in the lower section of the config window. If you click on the opening bracket of “attributes”, you’ll see that the entire content of that element will light up in gray. This means that if you query “attributes”, all highlighted information will be included.
If you click Add single query, it will extract that individual group. If you click Add collection query, it will extract all groups of “attributes”. Once you have added the JSONPath, all information that will be extracted turns blue. This way you can verify if your path works as desired. In this case, you’ll see that it extracts all groups of attributes accordingly.
